XIV will be lucky to break 500k sustained subs over a long period if the game is awsome. Break that up too much and you have artificially created population issues. ( I Hope I am wrong with #s but this is the worst mmo ever made... that title will forever hurt it)

The latency we seen in Alpha is not bad at all, it is better then XI's... and the servers are all in JP. This is more proof regional segregation is completely pointless.
I don't see the big deal because the JPs often won't want to play with NAs because they don't speak the same language. If anything an all NA based server will give me more people to play with and not less, because everyone there will speak the same language and could play together.
